Design
The L16-series GSAW includes a folding stock, bipod, and integrated low-light sight (with optional integrated laser ranging).
Ammunition feed is through a 200 round cassette with integral power supply. A 300 round magazine is also available in limited numbers. The L16 can also use L18 Gauss Rifle 35 round magazines.
One unique feature; the rate of fire is controlled by changing the frequency of discharge for the power capacitors. This means the rate of fire is continuously variable from 15 shots a second down to 1 shot per second (most weapons are dialed in to 8-10 per second)
